Goodness, present and hallowed,
Is thanking walls of the shallow
Embankments for flowing in over the
Ranks of soldiering messes of day glow
Blades scorched by hovering haloes
Washing away until I don't even cringe
At the thought of you

 

You say the same blood runs through us
Me, though, I maintain that I'm different
Years pass and I wish I could show you
And I wish that I told you

 

I've never forgotten all our yesterdays
But I'm lucky if we're speaking on the holidays

 

i wonder when, when i'll finally understand
why time could wash away love like
it was made of sand
and its wonderful the pain
that comes with regret
sometimes you have to see the beauty
in all of this loneliness

 

I can see it now
What gets lost but never found?
What could fasten two
Yet only touches one?
Who could make it hurt
As much as it did before?
You could tie a string
Around the place it used to show

 

Feel like a brand new person
(But you make the same old mistakes)
I don’t care I’m in love
(Stop before it’s too late)
Feel like a brand new person
(But you make the same old mistakes)
I finally know what is love
(You don’t have what it takes)
(Stop before it’s not too late)
(I know there’s too much at stake)
(Making the same mistakes)
And I still don’t know why it’s happening
(Stop while it’s not too late)
And I still don’t know

 

Your heart felt good
It was drippin' pitch and made of wood
And your hands and knees felt cold and wet on the grass to me
Outside naked, shiverin' looking blue, from the cold sunlight that's reflected off the moon
Baby cum angels fly around you reminding you we used to be three and not just two
And that's how the world began
And that's how the world will end

 

don't look away
i need to know
if this is real

 

I saw you with a very loose grip on your tight ship
And I left you with a very big mess then I watched it progress
Took a little time for your trip but I saw you starting to slip
And you always kept your eyes on any little hiding spot that you had forgot
And I saw you after a decent spell in a private hell
And I told you, "I hope I live a thousand lives, hope I live them well"
Fought my mind to keep my life, but my body’s putting up a tougher fight
Yeah if it feels wrong, you can go on along
But once it feels right then you just lost the fight

I saw you with a very loose grip on your tight ship
And I lost you when you said one hit couldn’t hurt a bit
Took a little time for your trip but I saw you starting to slip
Cause you always kept your eyes on any little hiding spot that you had forgot
I can’t shake the terror of my life fleeting, minute by minute
Even when I can’t imagine another day waking up in it
Fought my mind to keep my life, but my body’s putting up a tougher fight
Yeah if it feels wrong, you can go on along
But once it feels right then you just lost the fight

 

We're riding through the side streets,
a place we thought we threw away.
But we let it stay.

We let the night remind us,
to shed our skin and hope
to start again,
hope to start again.

 

Fall in line with the colours you drew, watch the smiles all fade from the people you knew.
Sing the songs like the others do, as the songs all fade then the people will too.
Is it the end of humanity again?
Will there be no enemies or friends?
All I have are pictures of you in a paler shade of blue.

Sit myself down.
Take the gun from my head, crack my thoughts wide open.
It’s our survival instinct to be on the winning team well I say “Fuck team sports”.

 

maybe we could put your tape back on
rewind until the moment we went wrong
I was always just a little bit lost
knowing what I do, I should have fought

 

The icons cluttering your bureau
Are eyeing me as I walk in
Your guardians are present in here
And I trust that they have always been
Hiding somewhere in your closet
Collecting moisture from your face
Your secret world speaks without words
And I feel clumsy and cumbersome in this place

But if I want them to will they speak to me soon
In a language ripe for my listening?
When the harsh sun breaks in your stained glass eyes
The refracted light keeps glistening

 

You said I'm full of diseases
Your eyes were full of regret
And then you took a picture of your salad
And put it on the internet

 

Don’t wanna be a hero.
Don’t wanna save the day.
Just wanna walk in the hills with my dog, not the streets of LA.

Don’t wanna be a rockstar.
Don’t need the crowds to scream for me.
Just wanna lay on in bed with my girl, she’s all the crowd I need.

Don’t wanna be another lost soul in the smog of Los Angeles.
Wanna watch my dog swimming in mountain streams with the trees surrounding me.

 

I know I am never gonna be the person that you saw in me

 

You put up walls and paint them all a shade of gray
And I stood there loving you and wished them all away
And you come away with a great little story
Of a mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you

 

It sure has been quite a year, waiting on things to change
I heard that while you were asleep you forgot to breathe
My shoulders aren't strong enough to carry you to the morgue
But that went unnoticed
You always were one to ignore your heart

 

Won't you try just a little bit harder?
Couldn't you try just a little bit more?
Won't you try just a little bit harder?
Couldn't you try just a little bit more?

Round, round, robin run around
Gotta get back where you belong
Little bit harder, just a little bit more
Little bit farther than you than you've gone before

The wheel is turning
and you can't slow down
You can't let go
and you can't hold on
You can't go back
and you can't stand still
If the thunder don't get you
then the lightning will

Small wheel turn by the fire and rod
Big wheel turn by the grace of god
Everytime that wheel turn round
bound to cover just a little more ground


bound to cover just a little more ground

 

We danced naked outside of your bathroom
Until our bare feet sweat tracks in the tile
As you came you moaned about loving them
Such convenience in regret after the fact
While our hitch breaths trip on false moves
We both know we’ll be right here again
So by now I know where the door is
I’ll wait outside until you call me back in

 

This is a time in my life
Where everything is falling apart,
And at the same time
It's all coming together.
Those summer days
That I longed for
Never really were what I
Wanted them to be.

 

I just can't get this off my mind
my voice, it yells inside
it tells me all the time
that I could leave right now

 

Fumbling touch in the dark
Mapping out stars in beauty marks
Tracing the lines in my palm
Counting beats in the breaks of balm
Break the glass to write a note on
A rose red blade to press a throat on
Too tender for hell, too young to die
Don't wanna stay alive when you're twenty-nine
Fingertip caught in a link of chain
Bleeding out to ease your private pain
Seeking things that will hurt you
Sweet and soft just to desert you

 

In my head a thousand words, I don't want to cause you trouble
Without you I'm just a girl, no reward without the struggle

 

What's the matter with your life
Is the poverty bringing u down?
Is the mailman jerking u round?
Did he put your million dollar check
In someone else's box?
Tell me, whats the matter with your world
Was it a boy when u wanted a girl? (boy when u wanted a girl)
Don't u know straight hair ain't got no curl (no curl)
Life it ain't real funky
Unless its got that pop
